Usage of MYK decal set

I got these decal sets from Japan.
MYK decal set Products.
MYK order page.
Usage on MYK decal.

And here is my experience of using MYK decals.

It's special decal set for 1/144 model or Japanese plastic trading kits

First,there are plastic films on the surface,you could see the pic.
Image

Soak with warm water about 40 degree Celsius,remember do not use warmer or hotter water or the plastic film will be getting curly.
Image

You could use some Mr.MARK SETTER.
Image

Carefully move the marker on the surface of models.
Image

Carefully move to the right position then use tissue to suck up water.
Image

Next step is the most important of all,after the decal is totally dry,I often use a hair drier to make them dry faster,use a knife to pick up the plastic film then use a tweezers to remove the films.

The edge of the film is over the mark so that you have to paste one piece and remove the film once,then 2nd piece...etc.
